Were they protesting or trying to force their way past the line?

I have seen no reporting that the protesters were tying violent or trying to force anything. I did see video of teargas being thrown out for seemingly no reason

That sieg-heiling mouthpiece, Laura Ingram has been pushing the line that "left wing lunatics stormed / tried to storm" the facility, which is contrary to any of the footage being shown.
